Matches are becoming meta-dependent.
Title, assuming that side knows how to effectively use what they brought.
It's hard to even play casually now considering most matches are so sweaty.
You decide to play a low-tier killer against a squad that knows what they're doing with 4 DH? Stress.
You decide to run gimmicky perks, but go against a blight that runs the typical blight build and knows what they're doing? Stress.
Finally reach high MMR? Nurses and blights left and right so you better bring DH or anything that you know how to use from your disposal. Heck, grab a 4-man SWF for those god-tier nurses/blights, but if you destroy any low-tiers, oh well.
Want to play casually? Well, hope to the entity that the stars aligned for that to happen.
Why do players have to sweat harder and harder? Every match just demands the meta at high MMR and not to mention, you do not know if the other side is bringing the meta to begin with. You might as well bring it in just in case, but I don't want to feel incentivized to bring the meta so I can stop sweating.
(The past couple of days have been rough so a lil vent was appreciated)
